Tourist experiences

Historical background

BE PART OF THE HISTORY

As with its long history, the Seoul Capital Area contains five UNESCO World Heritage Sites:

Changdeok Palace
Hwaseong Fortress
Jongmyo Shrine
Namhansanseong
the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty

Modern city

MODERN DESIGH. MODERN TECHNOLOGY

In contrast to its historic landmarks, South Korea is a pioneer in creating new and innovative structures.

Looking at Seoul, for example, you are surrounded by futuristic buildings in one part of the city, such as the Dongdaemun Design Plaza by Zaha Hadid, while traditional hanok neighborhoods lie just around the corner.

Seoul proudly opened the world’s fifth largest skyscraper piercing majestically out of the ground overlooking the Han River. It comes with little surprise that some of the world’s leading companies are also located here, including Samsung, Hyundai and Kia.

Cuisine

RICH. HEALTHY. SPICY

Koreans are very proud of their unique cuisine.

This is another result of the country’s natural isolation and climate leading to particular food preparation methods.

Over the centuries, Koreans have created a fascinating and rich food culture made up of meat dishes, stews, soups, noodle dishes, seafood and many vegetable side dishes.

Entertainment

ENJOY THE LIFE! HAVE FUN!

Entertainment is very important to South Koreans and they come up with new ways to keep themselves amused almost every month.

Seoul offer visitors the chance to pet cats or dogs, play with racoons, cuddle with meerkats and engage with all kinds of other animals.
Karaoke rooms have also been part of Korean entertainment for decades and are popular among all age groups.
PC rooms are also well-visited, usually by a younger crowd, who compete in a variety of online games with people from all over the world – so much so that South Korea has become a leading force in global e-sports.
Visit amusements parks like Lotte World, Everland and Caribbean Bay water park
